fore the hour the train was due at Chats
worth, and seemed to him so remarkable that
he called the attention of several people
around him to the fact
Hellam's statement was corroborated by
his son, who, with his father, got on the train
and barely escaped with their lives, and by
Julius Kopleke, farmer living within a
quarter of mile of the track and who saw
what seemed to be small fire near the cul-
vert shortly before midnight Testimony
pointing in the same direction. was given by
several other witnesses before the inquiry
was adjourned.
Those who hold to the theory of train
wrecking believe that there was an
ORGANIZED GANG OF THIEVES
on board the train, and that the bridge was
destroyed by confederates as the result of a
well-iaid plot In support of this theory
numerous stories of the robbing of the dead
and injured are being passed from mouth to
mouth, but the mouths of the dead are closed
and the injured who are cited can not be
found either here or at Piper City Develop
ments in this connection, however, are prom
ised before the end of the present investiga-
ton, and it would not be surprising if the
jury in its verdict should fix the responsibility
for the disaster upon some person or persons
unknown, and leave the railroad company or
the county free to use their own discretion in
following up the matter to an end.
1t was nearly II O'Clock Friday night when
the coroner's jury adjourned for the day. j.
G. Brown and Thomas J. Brown, bankers of
Chatsworth, corroborated the testimony of
previous witnesses regarding the peculiar
light seen near the bridge shortly before the
accident

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 13.-The secre-

war vessel on the great lakes, to enlist az
prentice boys for the navy. Heretofore all
such enlistments have been made on ''the sea-

are instructed in English studies as well as in
sesmanship. The squadron makes cruise

path again under the lead of Colorow, and
to be slaughtering citizens The mayor of
Meeker, together with the county commits
sioner and the secretary of the Stock Grow
ers association at that place, teiegraphed
Governor Adams Friday from Greenwood
Springs that the Utes have been firing on the
citizens above Meeker and have sent runners
to Uintah agency to call out the war party.
The citizens are f1ocking into Meeker from
the ranches An appeal is made for troops
and for arms and ammunition Governor
Adams at once telegraphed to Washington
asking what the war department could do.
He also applied to the mayor of Greenwood
Springs, asking to be kept informed of events
at Meeker.
The trouble grew out of an attempt by
Sheriff Kendall, of Garfield county, to arrest
two Of Colorow's renegade Indians who were
indicted for horse-stealing. Learning where
the Indians were encamped near Meeker he
attempted to serve the warrant in company
with two or three deputies Colorow met
him and told HIM if he did not leave he would
kill him and all the whites in that section.
The sheriff withdrew to Meeker. and sum-
moning posse of fifty cowboys he boldly at
tackled the band. Severe fighting ensued,
and it is understood that several OF
the sherifFs men were badly hurt.
The Indians were splendidly armed and
mounted, and the sheriff finding he could dc
nothing with them, handled his force to pre-
vent them from depredating. At last reports
the Indians were about twenty miles from
Meeker and were sending out foraging bands
in all directions. Runners have also been
sent TO their reservation for reinforcementS
and it is believed that Colorow intends &c
make a stubborn fight There are rumorc
that more serious fighting has occurred, and
that numbers of settlers have been killed
Kendall is a brave and fearless man and
an Indian fighter since 1859 He has with
him Phil Foote and other choice spirits who
don't fear even his satanic majesty, and is

grass near the bridge on Friday, Aug. 5;
that on the afternoon of the accident they
were doing the same work forty rods from

the culvert, and that there was
nothing burning nor anything there
to burn. Michael Kuhaske, another

The result was that the witness showed re-
